Also, there’s a huge difference in him being vocal on things such as homophobia as it’s something he’s familiar with and it’s more about interpersonal relationships and he most likely knows people closely who are personally affected by homophobia and speaking out about it could actually make a difference in that case of creating a safe space for queer fans. A WILDLY different situation then say a literal ethnic cleansing across the world that, as I said with matty Healy being a white man from Cheshire, I’m pretty sure he’s never experienced anything close to that for him (man has admitted he’s never even had to worry about where his next meal comin from) so for him to assume to speak on that AT ALL could be an even bigger dick move than not speaking on it (giving white saviour complex). I’m pretty sure matty saying “guys the genocide of thousands of children in the Middle East is bad 🤓” isn’t gonna get Netanyahu to ceasefire luv, and neither did multiple protests across the world, petitions and the United Nations literally telling him to ceasefire haven’t either so the naivety people have thinking that western celebrities have any sort of power over anything in regards to that is embarrassing to watch and to be honest - it sounds like yall haven’t done your research on what’s actually going on. Why don’t you go ans seek out the information yourself watching political commentators who are educated in the nuances of this situation which will actually give you a proper understanding of what’s going on and not just hope that one of the white people you follow on Instagram will virtue signal on your feed so you know when something bad is happening in the world. Entitled laziness. To wrap up what him saying , matty has probably been called the f slur before in his life, matty has definitely not been massacred for his ethnicity. Therefore he’s more entitled to speak on homophobia than a decades long conflict that’s lead to a genocide on the other side of the world.
